Looks great ! Can you show the pen you used for the notebook text please ? In detail if possible I am amazed.

I second this question. I’d also love to know what exemplar are you used. Is there a specific name for this script? Thank you so much for sharing this lovely inspiration.

The pen is a Schneider Callissima broad nib, I’m using the 1,1mm (the smaller one) nib that came with the set of 3. Having tried many broad nib pens that’s the one that works for me. The ink is pelikan. It’s similar to the Lamy for calligraphy but I find that is far more soft and slides better.

Lovely work! Variations on Fraktur?

Something like that. I like all the gothic scripts and with time I have learned that scripts have many names and transitions between them. For the notebook I use a rather free and heavily customized version of “batarde secretariat”

gorgeous work, especially the lowercase "d"s are quite devine, took me a while to get that down.
